Monday - We will continue with our short story unit from the beginning of the year. This mini-unit will allow us to synthesize all of the works we have done this year into the literary elements that will be on the midterm. Today we will focus on symbolism through "Abalone, Abalone, Abalone." Post-reading questions in small groups. Share out as a class.
Tuesday - Focus: tone & irony. We will read "The Open Window" and go through close reading questions after reading. As a reading strategy, we will use the "Most Important Word" to summarize the work and pull everything together. This will lead into small group discussions. Come back together and discuss what each group shared out. Wednesday - Focus: setting. "There Will Come Soft Rains" will be our text of the day. After reading, the students will utilize the "Save the Last Word for Me" strategy. On top of that, the students will answer questions in the textbook and then connect it all to the focus of the day: setting. Friday: Focus: point of view. We will read "Mushroom in the City" and connect it to the other short stories and books from this year. We will then go through the close reading questions and go through the answers in small groups.
